  • Issue Defining Seminar: Share and define collective Asian problems
  • Scenario Workshop: Contemplate possible future scenarios together
  • Alternative strategy workshop: Seek new alternatives according to the views of civic society

East Asia Civil Society Initiative (CSI)

This East Asia Civil Society Initiative explores the role of networks led by civil society to help solve global problems in the region.  Over the next three years, the project will bring together researchers from South Korea, Japan, and China to map the causal complexity of the relationship between global problems and adaptation to climate change. The first year will look at the effect of climate change on energy security, nuclear proliferation, and urban insecurity. Future years will expand the scope to examine disease pandemics, global wetlands, poverty reduction, and the new generation of leadership in East Asia.

Civil Society Monitoring and Verification Network (CSMV)

The Civil Society Monitoring and Verification Network draws on transnational civil society networks to hold up a “mirror” to influential South Korean and Japanese policy and decision-makers at many levels of society, reflecting the totality of what they are saying and doing in regards to nuclear weapons and how this is viewed externally. Through CSMV, the accountability of decision makers in Japan and Korea to constituencies affected by pro- and anti-nuclear weapons decisions, both inside and outside their home countries, is increased.
